WARNING: Check with your electronics manufacturer before installing a television or other electronic de- vice above this fireplace.

Drafts

The fireplace should not be located in areas that create drafts (ie: frequently opened doors and central heating air inlets/outlets) that hamper the normal flow of air into the

fire.

Gas Logs

If you plan to install a gas log, the gas line should be installed before framing the fireplace. The gas line must be installed by a certified gas line installer.
